Saving The Valleys: Wednesday February 20, 12-1 pm




WYPR: Midday with Dan Rodricks Podcast show

Summary: We hear the story of how the valleys north of Baltimore -- those vast green vistas of paddocks, horses and four-board fence -- came to be preserved through a landmark plan by architect Ian McHarg. Filmmaker Allen Moore documents the efforts of McHarg and his collaborators to devise one of the first land-use plans to use nature as its central theme. In addition to Moore, our guests are Bill Roberts, one of the original authors of The Plan for the Valleys, and J. Carroll Holzer, long-time attorney engaged in Baltimore County land-use issues.
